WE CALLED IT: WES BORLAND RE-JOINS LIMP SUCKIT
Thursday, February 12th, 2009 at 8:37am by Axl Rosenberg
Fuck Wes Borland, and fuck everyone who supported this lying sack of shit.
We first got the news that the cancerous, malignant, inoperable growth known as “Limp Bizkit” were reuniting in October – albeit with former Cold/current Evansuckence axe man Terry Balsucko on guitar, since apparently Borland still had some sense of artistic integrity hadn’t been offered enough money yet.
But I wrote: “I’d’ put money on [Borland] returning to the fold at some point.” As a matter of fact, I’d predicted Borland’s inevitable return to Bizkit even before the official Bizkit reunion was announced. Writing about Borland’s playing with Marilyn Manson in August, I declared:
“Borland has been making the rounds lately, ostensibly denouncing his former life as a terrorist against human ears and good taste, but to be honest, I don’t quite buy it; lest we forget, the guy has already quit, and re-joined, Limp Bizkit once, and since past behavior is always the best indicator of what will future behavior will be, when the inevitable Limp Bizkit rap-metal nostalgia tour DOES happen, there’s no doubt in my mind Borland will be there, cashing in just like everyone else.”
Still, not everyone agreed with me. Here are some of the comments people left after we said Borland was gonna re-join the band at some point:
“I’m sure you have denounced things you did in your early twenties as well. And Limp Bizkit just announced a reunion and guess who isn’t there ‘cashing in’…. You guessed it: Wes.” – Ben Richards
“dude who wrote this shit is a retard. Wes left Limp Bizkit in the 1990’s cause he said it was retarded and he felt like he ’sold his soul’ by playing for them.” – king kobra
“Whoever wrote this article, you frankly suck shit, because not only are your points either invalid or poorly/loosly supported, you’re trying to be this anti-Limp Bizkit badass, but you come off as a fag.” – Name
I couldn’t believe that anyone legitimately thought Borland might care about anything besides money – I mean, even if the guy did have legitimate artistic aspirations, he clearly wasn’t talented enough to achieve them.
And then, on top of all of this, as recently as last fucking week Borland was denying in the press that he’d ever return to Bizkit:
“I have no plans on working with Limp again. It’s better for me for sure. I’m having a great time doing (Black Light Burns).”
Well, hey, guess what, kiddies? BORLAND IS BACK WITH BIZKIT.
Here’s a statement from Borland and Fred Durst in which they attempt to pretend that this reunion about anything more than money:
“We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other. Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why Limp Bizkit is back.”
Let me translate that for you in rational human speak:
“Bullshit bullshit bullshit, Black Light Burns didn’t make any money, bullshit bullshit bullshit, Fred’s movies didn’t make any money, bullshit bullshit bullshit, John Otto begged and sucked us off, bullshit bullshit bullshit, there’s money to be made doing this reunion!”
I mean, seriously: the members of Limp Bizkit are disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music? Heavy popular music just spent the better part of the last decade trying to recover from what these fuckwads did to it; how the fuck is “Nookie” the answer?
So I’ll say it again: fuck Wes Borland, and fuck anyone who supported this lying sack of shit. This twit and his fucktarded tiki doll make-up and lame, tired riffs riff are every bit as much at fault for the global apocalypse this reunion will surely bring as Fred Durst is. I hope Durst drives him nuts every minute of every day until he finally goes back to teaching guitar clinics in Jakarta. Cock sucker.
-AR
Tell us how you really feel.
Rofl, awesome post, made me laugh alot.
Fuck limp bizkit, fuck nu metal,
Thrash!!!
THAT BITCH IS ON THE BOAT!!
On the plus side, maybe now the members of Tool will finally stop hanging out with him. For 4 guys who incessantly talked shit about Limp Bizkit in the early ’00s they sure seemed to enjoy the company of their guitarist.
Hilarity… can’t wait to protest the existence of this new album. On a slightly odd note, how bout these apples?

Posted today also… I’m getting mixed signals here.
PS. Since when did Tool hang out with BOREland? Sure he did that one Underworld track a few years back, but if I recall correctly, there we no Tool members on that track. In any case, I actually don’t give two shits.
^Mostly just Adam. Adam and Wes became friends and made some (unreleased, as far as I know) music together after Wes left Limp Bizkit. I always thought it was odd. Still do, in fact.
that was one hilarious post. bwahaha
hahahahahahahah
Wes Boreland is a cool guy despite Limp Bizkit. Have you listened to Black Light Burns? It’s actually pretty good, especially in concert.
Thank the lord he’s no longer a part of Marilyn Manson.
My question is; how the fuck do you make money from a Limp Bizkit reunion?!?
i thought bizkit was okay with a few good songs, but a lot more shitty ones. But what really gets me is that this dude said he wouldn’t get back with them but now he is. Makes me wonder what really is going on behind the seens.
which songs in particular?
no, actually, i don;t know any of them anyway and i’m chuffed with that.
God doesn’t exist! He wouldn’t allow an abomination like Limp Biz to exist.
Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck
Axl’s hit the nail on the head here.
Are there any Borland apologists left after this? I liked Black Light Burns debut but I hope this utter sell out gets the indifference he deserves. There’s nothing wrong with rejoining a shit band, but after everything he’s said and claimed it’s just an utter farce.
What I really hope is even less people will pay than the last time they attempted this (with a truly horrendous album to boot) and the stinking ship will finally go down.
His face is both big and dumb.
lulz.
great post. shitty news.
Fuck Limp Dickzit.
That’s all I have to share.
I still can’t believe that certain idiots listen to this shit years after it’s moment in the sun.
Why couldn’t they have just stayed dead?
goddamn, to think it was bad enough having slipknot coming back with another album making appearances on MTV, metallica coming out with another bad album, now we’re forced getting back the limp dicks. wes made a better decision to leave LP in the first place. and i’m sure the minority few of the freak and geeks will think it’s going to be the biggest/best thing ever and some will even be stupid enough to think that ”true metal” has come back. it’s just all rediculous to me. it’s almost compared to Hillary Clinton loses against Obama in the race yet the bitch came back as our new Secretary of Bullshit because she needs the spotlight. and it’s nothing more than the ‘new kids on the block’ reunion tour and the ’spice girls tour’ reunion because they can’t make the money anywhere else. there’s a price having a dream and when those days are gone my friend, they’re gone! But let’s face it, the idiots will make them rich again. hopefully they won’t come back with their red hats and cargo pants. the shit was silly in the first place.
Definitive proof that the end-times are upon us.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I just saw the Four Horsemen riding down my street…
Maybe Limp Bizshit, Dope and Black Label Society could tour together. Shit maybe Zakk could give Wes some guitar lessons or better yet play on their new CD
Maybe Zakk could destroy Fred Durst.
Andy Copping (Download festival organiser) was saying he was in talks with a Borland featured Bizkit almost a month ago, so it’s hardly new news. He was probably just fucking about last week.
Just sayin’ like.
I have to admit… that picture of Wes cracks me up. I don’t know if it’s the bowtie, the small dog, or the black contacts. He always was the best part about that band, and a little too weird for such a pedestrian, trendy group.
I suppose it makes sense, though… Blink 182 and No Doubt are reuniting, so why not Limp Bizkit too? They can all tour together, maybe get Creed to join them.
And maybe someone will bomb one of the venues.
It’s hard for me to be mad about something simultaneously so inevitable and so irrelevant.
I really can’t understand all the hate Limp Bizkit get. Whatever.
The fact is, when LB came out with 3 Dollar Bill Ya’ll, they were fresh, energetic, and heavy. They weren’t trendy because they were [towards] the beginning of the trend and one of the trendsetters (for better or worse).
Their follow-up album, whatever it was called, wasn’t bad either — incorporating more rock elements and melody (HOWEVER, it also had some TERRIBLE songs that are embarassing to all of humanity, but somehow got them even MORE famous).
Problem for LB is, they were too greedy and stupid to realize that the apparent reality “make shitty stupid pop songs and get more famous” was really a mirage and ended up destroying the band (that along with Durst’s raging ego).
I blame the mass media and the mass amounts of idiots who embraced their shitty music more than their good music (yes, I think they had [some] good music). But I mean…this is a broken record isn’t it? However, not all bands totally sell out and stop making decent music altogether, like LB did. SO I guess in the end, fuck em.
So Fred and Wes are “disgusted with the state of heavy popular music” eh? Have they forgotten it was their band that helped to make it disgusting? That Limp Bizkit helped pave the way for every other poser, wanna-be band that makes music for jocks to date-rape to to get noticed? Yeah, thanks for rushing in an saving us all guys.
And I actually though that Borland had a smidgen of credibility there for a second. Oh well, when this new LB album bombs and the reunion tanks before most people even knew it had started, I’m sure Borland will suddenly find his creative muse again and start another project that isn’t “selling his soul”. Fuck him and Fred Durst.
Maybe they should go and buy the last Prong album then shut the fuck up forever. :ODDDD
what ive always wanted to know is ……
is it okay that i used to listen to Limpbizkit when i was about 13, and i loved them…. and know i listen to proper thrash/gore/death/crust (age 25), and i look back at that music and feel ashamed…….(i dont like feeling ashamed.)
or is it a once bizkit/always bizkit, thing.
may i be redeemed back into the cool metal club again?
then again i grew up in New zealand (NO DECENT METAL)
all my life,
brought up on sabbath/ledZep/maiden/blues…..
so i guess i developed tastes with thick riffs(sabbath)/trippy drumming(ledzep)/catchy choruses(maiden)/ and white dudes trying to be black(blues)
can also be mislead into thinking LB has thick riffs (7string), trippy drums(something called hiphop??), catchy choruses(NOOKIE-COOKIE..enuff said) and the fuckin obvious tampon.
im hoping i was just staring at the shiny object. im pretty sure i was.
So, Wes and Fred are “disgusted with the state of popular heavy music”, eh? Don’t these two tools remember that it was their band who helped make it so disgusting?? That Limp Bizkit helped paved the way for every other poser, wanna-be hack band to put albums out so that frat boy-jock-douches could have a date-rape soundtrack? Yeah, thanks for rushing in and saving us all. I’m sure you guys will turn things around for all of us.
For a second there I thought Borland had a bit of credibility by renouncing his Bizkit ways. Oh well, when the album bombs and the reunion tanks before people even knew it had begun, I’m sure Wes will suddenly discover his muse again and try to prove that he’s really not the sell-out he has proven himself to be. So go ahead Wes, put in your crazy contacts, wear your funny Halloween costumes, bash out those one finger chords and get out there to attempt to lower the collective IQ of society once again. Hope you make some bank off of this because this is it for you pal.
Didn’t this happen like a month ago?
aaaaaaaaaaaaagh, fuck’s sakes wes.
Skipped the comments, sort of like GWB bashing, it’s just too easy.
Anyway, I love how you guys manage to bash bands for ridiculous outlandish shit when in fact some of your own favorite bands wear make-up like it was Halloween.
That last…thing…they did, showed some merit, mainly with the guitar work, and the lack of rapping, but if it’s anything other than a sequel of some sort I’m not even listening to it/giving a shit, to be honest.
hacks.
I don’t give a fuck what anybody says. Limp Bizkit rocked the 1999 Woodstock. Though the best part WAS the Ministry cover. People talk so much shit about numetal but really that shit saved the day in the 90s. It was a new and fresh sound at a time when grunge was ready to be shot in the head. The big 4 (besides Slayer) were all trying to get on the radio. Sepultura lost Max. Hell even Pantera were on cruz control. Death metal as a whole was stale as fuck. . Besides the underground hardcore scene the overall state of aggresive music was in bad shape. Numetal hit and yeah you could go to some packed shows again with some long hairs and drink, rock the fuck out and “shiit” their were even chicks there. Numetal had a fun heyday and I have some good memories. Then “like all scenes” it got old. But I’ll admit I liked the first 2 Bizkit cd’s. First 2 Soulfly cds, First 2 Korn cds. Damn I just realized that yeah… them bands were only good for 2 cds and then the occassional good track.
I don’t hate anything I ever liked before. Might not listen to it nowadays but you know Michael Jackson Thriller was the shit!
Besides all that. Fuck yeah Wes. Get that fucken money. Tour the world. See some friends. MAKE A LOT OF MONEY playing guitar. I’d jam the fuck outta Nookie for that money.
Que chinge su puta madre Fred Durst !!
limp biscuit was a catastrophic wirlwind of poop for all heavy music. their fans are the same fans of bands like evanesance, slipknot, mudvayne, linkin park and hed(pe)- just to name a few trainwrecks. they ruined the heavy metal party for everyone. truly good music was shadowed by their giant egos, horseshit melodies and homosexual lyrics. i hate them. i hate all of you that support LB. fuck borland. fuck durst. fuck the rest of the band. fuck this website and fuck you. get a grip on reality you biscit suckers.
Douche Baggo – is it really necessary to be such a pant-wetting emo about it? Limp Bizkit didn’t ruin “heavy metal” because number 1 they weren’t heavy metal. That sort of sticks a pork sword up the horseshit of your argument. Number 2, if you get so emo about people who like music that you don’t like and say “fuck this website” when this website is running a highly sarcastic article about the reunion, then clearly your head is so stuffed in My Little Pony books, you can’t even muster a basic argument. Really very embarrassing. Number 3, LB put on some excellent shows and had some cracking tunes. Nookie and Rollin’ always rocked live festivals and were great tunes in their day *for people who liked that music* (which you don’t have to. Perhaps cut your wrists a bit harder next time you are experiencing the pain of being inside your own head. Then we won’t have to listen to your drivel :)
I would guess that half of the people here that are talking thrash about Wes and LB is just bitches who love them but doesnt want to be “uncool”.
I like LB, so what? I still love most of the music on the website to.
I think if Zakk Wylde didnt talk so much shit about limp bizkit (cuz he was probably jealous of their success like alot of other entertainers) and then went on and made a video with dopey….yeah no hes not a hypocrite…. and if wes just threw in a few solos in their songs if durst didnt rap (even though i think he doesnt really rap in most of the songs like most rappers today the only song where he raps in a traditional sense is in n 2 gether now) and made zombie screams and little bullshit things like that these people would be alot more positive towards them i guarantee that. just ask yourself…. where were this many haters towards limp bizkit ten years ago?..
